I'm not very used to urban art, but I will try my best! First of all, I love the use of the warm colors, for It brings about its own feeling and story and makes it feel as though you are in the painting, yourself. The detail is very cool and carefully done. The blue and green really pops against the warmer colors and catches the eyes, which is a good little trick to have. Even through all of the random blotches of paint, you can still visibly see the structures of the counter, lights, and glass. Very cool work!

Thanks for the kind comment! Lol urban sketching is just sketching at location (meaning I drew this while in the cafe)

This piece is a visually pleasing artwork.The medium not only adds a simplicity that enhances the scene, it gives it a softness to this restaurant setting, a place that normally is portrayed and made to be relaxing so people can eat in peace. The color scheme is very rustic and warm, making it cozy and welcoming, especially with highlights in color giving it all the more a principle of harmony in the piece. The proportions are all made well, and the movement flows fine for the walking waitress, it's not dramatic or awkward, it's natural. There is a bit that can be done to make it slightly neater, but overall it's not too dampening to the piece. Well done!

Hi, I saw this in the Project Comment folder and it caught my attention.Β 

I am glad to see some traditional pieces is this group. It refreshing to see amongst all the digital stuff.Β  First off, I like that you did a water color sketch. I don't much in that way of paint sketching or many studies.Β 

Impression:
It looks like a corner cafe or little diner, where you can come in and grab a tasty beverage and snack, have seat and do some work or grab some thing quick and be on the your way.Β Β 

Compositions:
You were able to capture the scene very well. Although, you used more of a minimalistic approach, you still added enough details to fully create a lively scene. Nothing seems over crowed and flows nicely in the open space created. Every thing also looks balanced and captures the feel of a corner diner or cafe.

Details and colour:
I think you did a good job on capturing a lot of details in this.Β  I can clearly make out the figures of the patrons dining and engaging with one another. I like the light fixtures and how you mad the glow of the light coming off of the hanging lights.Β  Every thing from the hanging plant in the window, to the lines in the floor boards to the shadow of the people dining and interacting, all have shadow and some detail to make them out clearly. The colours you used are very natural earth tones that add a sense of calm and warmth but also seem very lively. They work well here.

As far as, the Easter eggs, I looked at this a few times and I was unable to find any. Or, I found some and didn't realize it... But, I am also not sure how many orΒ  what exactly I am looking for. They went over my head atΒ  least.Β 

Over all, I think this is a nice sketch.Β  Filled with a lot good details and a nice composition. I can only imaging if you did a fully detailed and finished version of this, I think it would come out really nice.Β 

Thank you for sharing you art. Sorry, I couldn't find the Easter eggs. My bad.Β Β  Β

Thank you for the very detailed comment!

Lol the easter eggs are the character from a manga called Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (part 5).

That makes more sense now. I have seen the first two parts of JoJo. I haven't seen or read the rest. That went over my head

I think the woman with sunglasses is Lisa Lisa, the one that sitting with the blonde is Bruno. I'm not sure about the blonde guy(?) though, is it Giorno? Fugo? What about DIO?? And the one in the back (sitting alone) has a hairstyle similar to Steely Dan, but looks like a woman, Donatella? Or Jolyne's mom maybe?

This is fun, nice art btw

Haha now I think the front figure does look a bit like Lisa Lisa The easter egg was the two people on the left (Bruno and Giorno), but I'm very impressed you come up with guesses for everyone!
